Elaborate note shames tradie over parking effort: 'I'm left speechless'
The bizarre typed out note accused the tradie of taking up enough room for a '20 mule team, two elephants, one goat and a safari of pygmies'.
A tradie is in disbelief after finding an elaborate note on their parked car, saying they are "heartbroken" a fellow parent would go out of their way to "shame" someone while picking up their children from school.
After parking at the Woodvale Tavern in Perth's north on Wednesday, the tradie collected their kids from the nearby school and returned to their vehicle to find the message waving in the wind.
Not only was it long and typed out, which suggests the person who issued the note had invested time in creating it, but it was also dated and seemingly signed in pen, with the note's header reading, "Thanks for the way you parked your car you ignorant b*****d".
The note called the tradie's parking attempt "bull-headed, inconsiderate and feeble" and called them out for taking up enough room for a "20 mule team, two elephants, one goat and a safari of pygmies".
"I sign off wishing you an early transmission failure (on a freeway at about 4.30 pm). Also, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits."

'Speechless' tradie defends parking
The tradie admitted online they had "parked longways" across parking bays as their vehicle is too long to fit in a standard bay. Taking this into consideration, they parked in the pub's car park to not take up any designated parking for parents on the school grounds.
"That area is not [a] school park so if a parent from our school has put this note on my windscreen I hope you take a long hard look at yourself," the tradie wrote on social media. "As a hard-working single parent trying to provide the best education for my kids, and to be shamed for where I park, I’m left speechless."
Elaborate parking note divides Aussies
After sharing an image of the note online, the parent was bombarded by a number of Aussies who shared their opinion — and many were divided on whether the note was justified or not.
"I’m sorry you got slammed... I often have to park sideways as I have a horse float on but I go up the back near the childcare centre. Bays are getting smaller and cars bigger," one wrote online.
However, many others called the note "pure class" and said drivers need to be called out when they are in the wrong.
"To be fair parking a truck/trailer across five bays in that spot at that time of day is a s**t move," one said, while another admitted they will copy the idea and "print me some of these!".
